Celebrating life…and how it happens
While I was walking on the beach today I was thinking about my topic for the blog…many things came to mind, talking about a design, beads, the beach, the weather…then came life…and all that I myself had experienced in the last days. Then the thoughts of friends and their experiences came into my head…there came the topic of celebrating life. There are many ways to celebrate life… a friend of mine just lost a dear old friend, another friend is experiencing heart ache and yet another friend is celebrating a birthday!! They are all ways in which we can truly celebrate life…
In the person experiencing the loss of a friend, the stories I heard him tell were stories that warmed my heart and his while he told them. I could tell that this person had somewhere made an important impact on my friends life, and while he is morning he is also celebrating…knowing that he is grateful to have had this person in his life. My friend that is experiencing the loss of love, this one sometimes seems tough, but I would rather to have experienced it for just a moment or to than never to have experienced it at all. Love means never saying your sorry…or does it? It means loving us for who we are, but remembering that in the end…we love ourselves and grow with whatever we got from our time together. In the end, it will all work out and something amazing will come from it…sometimes it just takes us time to see this! Then there is the birthday friend…btw HAPPY BIRTHDAY Ms. Queen of Glass (you know who you are)…that celebrating of life comes with many things. Looking back at the past year, how and where did we grow? Wondering a bit about the future and wondering what the new year will bring with wisdom and laughter, and then ofcourse the day…and all of the glory that this was the day that you came here to be with us and share who you are!! There are many ways to celebrate life and we should never take for granted that we are special, no matter how we maybe feeling at a certain moment! many hugs with much love to all…
This is great…If only we would look at what is presented to us daily instead of what is not, if only we look at each journey as a lesson instead of an issue….LIVE life daily, that’s what we are here for. Well done my dear friend.
Birthdays come and go…and today I realized that we are not meant to count the years, we are meant to count the blessings that each one has brought us…I will live the rest of my days knowing that my life is but a strange and wonderous collection of blessings. Thank you for being one of them! And thank you for creating just wonderous blessings-may each and every blessing you create find a home where it will be counted!
Ladies I am honored by both of your comments…I am honored to have you both in my life…blessed…yes we all are…:)
